Loquat (Japanese plum)
from £5.70
The loquat also known as Chinese plums or Japanese plums belongs to the rose family. It bears small, round fruits growing in clusters: They are sweet, yet slightly tart, with notes of citrus. Their colours varie from yellow to red-orange, depending on the variety.
These fruits are particularly high in carotenoid antioxidants, which may prevent cellular damage and protect against disease. Carotenoids are also precursors to vitamin A- which is essential for healthy vision, immune function, and cellular growth. In addition, loquats contain folate and vitamin B6, which are important for energy production and blood cell formation.
In season April to June
